You’ve made the decision to purchase a new HVAC system! While this is certainly an important step in home comfort, it can also be a little daunting. I’m sure you’ve been wondering what kind of system you need? How can you be sure you're getting the best system? Which company do I call for install? There are a number of fundamental questions when making an HVAC purchase. Here are a few of the important ones we’ve encountered over the years.

If you have come to the point in your relationship with your HVAC system that it is time to part ways, then you have probably already done the research required to determine which system is right for you. And, you have already spent time learning of the many advantages a new system can offer you, such as improved energy efficiency, fewer repairs, better indoor comfort, and a longer service life – just to name a few. However, what you may not realize is that the best system is only as good as the quality of the installation job! Proper HVAC installation by a certified technician allows a new heating or cooling system to function as expected and perform to the levels stated.

The snow has melted, and spring has finally arrived. For most, this is a great opportunity to get outside and tackle all the yard work and spring cleaning projects you have been putting off all winter. But as sure as April showers bring May flowers, there is another little thing that spring months bring… “sump season. Now is the perfect time to check on one of the most important, but most forgotten about appliances in your home: the sump pump.

Remember the Terminator with its cool infrared technology? What would you say if I told you that Choice Comfort Services has also gone infrared? All of our technicians are now equipped with Flir One Pro infrared cameras which are allowing us to see heating, cooling and plumbing issues in a whole new way.

This weather is…unpredictable to say the least! We are hopeful that you will not find yourself without heat this winter, but if there is an issue, we are sure you will have some questions about furnace repairs. We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked furnace repair questions below to give you some insight into what a furnace repair could entail.

With temperatures this cold, homeowners are burrowing down under covers, sipping hot chocolate and trying to stay warm...and we don't blame you! But there is one thing you need to be sure not to neglect during these below freezing temps: your water pipes!
Why? Because when water freezes, it expands, which can cause pipes to burst—flooding your home, ruining your drywall, and costing thousands of dollars in repairs. In fact, if pipes aren't properly protected they tend to freeze whenever outside temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. What does it mean for you if your pipes burst? According to State Farm Insurance, the average claim for burst pipe damage runs $15,000.
We've put together a few tips to help you keep the water flowing during these frigid temperatures.

There is a definite chill in the air and that means it is time to do some winter-proofing! And while you may have already started thinking about checking for leaks around windows and doors, there are two little rooms in the house that are often overlooked when preparing for the cold months ahead: the kitchen and the bathrooms.

No matter what type of climate you live in, the levels of humidity in the air can affect the comfort of your home, as well as the proper functioning of your heating and air conditioning units. Managing ideal indoor humidity should be a priority for every homeowner, especially when it comes to tailoring your heating and cooling preferences to meet your personal home needs.
Having the right level of moisture in your home at all times will ensure that your home HVAC systems are working efficiently for you. In other words, with the right humidity balance, your home will feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter. However, if levels are not properly maintained, your home will not only feel uncomfortable to you, but your household may also become susceptible to respiratory disorders or chemical reactions. Additionally, improper humidity levels can cause damage to both the inside and outside of your home.

Every good homeowner knows that replacing their HVAC system filters on schedule is an excellent best practice. But sometimes, “on schedule” just isn’t good enough. If you are one of those good homeowners who check your filter at regularly scheduled times yet still find that it’s completely covered in dust, hair and other particles, you might start wondering what causes it to get dirty prematurely.
Following are a list of common culprits, as well as a few tips on what you can do to correct the issue.
Premature Clogging:

If you ask people how to best save money on their air conditioning in the summer, you will get a variety of answers. Interestingly, most people assume that the best way to save money on cooling costs is to turn their air conditioner off when they’re not at home. However, there is a much better way: Turn your thermostat up instead of turning the AC completely off.

"Last year we had to have our furnace replaced and we chose Choice Comfort for the job. The tech was very courteous and polite. The job was done in a timely manner and there was no mess left behind. When getting our tune up this year we found the water heater needed replaced. Within a few hours the new heater was in and again no muss or fuss. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing their services!"

Pamela Medlen

"On time and as advertised. Very happy with the equipment and service. Installers were great. This was to replace a 20 year old Carrier brand that was working perfectly but was probably getting to the end of it's life span.
Also had the water heater replaced, no need to wait until it's an emergency."

Don Waters

"Excellent service! Technician was knowledgable and didn't try to sell me a new furnace a la Airtron. Turned out to be an easy fix. They also came out within an hour of my phone call. Great job. I'll continue to use Choice Comfort for all of my HVAC needs. "

"I would like to thank you for the excellent and professional service I received from your company. On 12-27-13, our furnace went out. We call your company and a technician came out and we all agreed that we needed a new furnance. Ours was 25 years old. There was no pressure and the technician got ours working temporarily. On Monday the installer was there on time and started disconnecting the furnace. The furnace was completely installed in the early afternoon. The installer explained the operation of the furnace. He also explained the rebates we qualified for. He then removed the drop clothes he had used and thanked us for the business. The entire experience with everyone at Choice Comfort was great!!!"

Linda and Mike

"Back from a week on vacation to discover our air conditioner is out on a Sunday. With steamy weather on the way we called our trusted technicians from Choice Comfort Services. Paul quickly identified the problem and had the parts on hand. After the repair was complete he gave the rest of the system a thorough evaluation. I recommend without hesitation the integrity and quality of Choice Comfort Services. Thanks again!"

Joe and Marilyn

"We called Choice Comfort Services and were called back by Paul to set up a time for him to come out to make an evaluation of what could be done. He got back with us and gave an estimated price. We had an HVAC system installed in our home. They did a very professional job, and always called ahead to let us know they were on their way here. The job was done in a timely manner. The workers were very courteous and always answered all our questions. The system is working and we are very grateful for the job that was well done. We would highly recommend Choice Comfort Services to everyone."

Stephen and Ann

"Thank you for all of the work you put into keeping us cool this summer. You came out on several Sundays to recharge our old unit until you could get it replaced.
